Foreword
ALFRED WHITAL STERN has been called
"Abraham Lincoln's best (posthumous) friend."
Others may contend for that distinction and cer-
tainly Mr. Stern will not himself dispute them.
On the contrary, Mr. Stern has consistently and
steadfastly sought to protect the privacy of the re-
lationship and has preferred to remain in the back-
ground, anonymous by intention and almost in-
visible. Yet few men have done as much as Mr.
Stern to propagate the Lincoln story and promote
among his fellow-citizens a fuller, richer, deeper
understanding of Mr. Lincoln's meaning for our
time.
To that cause, Mr. Stern has selflessly but suc-
cessfully dedicated himself. He has served it in
many ways. He has made gifts of carefully, studi-
ously selected material to institutions at home and
abroad. He has stimulated and supported research.
He has made publication possible. He has been
counselor to his State and Nation in the develop-
ment of acquisition programs. He has been mem-
ber of boards and committees. He has, in other
words, through his own command of the subject
and through his generous benefaction notably en-
riched the public's knowledge of Abraham Lincoln.
This engrossing avocation had its inception many
years ago when Mr. Stern's interest in Mr. Lincoln
was first aroused. To satisfy it, he set about to form
a collection. He defined his subject broadly: Abra-
ham Lincoln. Although the collection was pri-
marily a collection of books and monographs, it
mcluded as well pamphlets, broadsides, periodicals,
newspapers, prints and engravings, music, a few
manuscripts and medals, even an association-object
or two.
% 1950, it had reached such proportions that
Mr. Stern was somewhat surprised to learn that
his was, perhaps, the most extensive in private
hands. Its value as a scholarly resource was so
obvious that Mr. Stem was prevailed upon to pre-
sent it to the national collections in the custody
of the Library of Congress. The announcement of
the gift, made most appropriately on the 87th anni-
versary of the delivery of the Gettysburg Address,
contained the following statement:
"Mr. Stern has spared neither pains, nor ex-
pense, to make his collection at once worthy of the
spirit who called it into being and his fellow-citizens
who, in successive generations, may return to it for
example and inspiration. To that end, Mr. Stern
proposes to accompany his gift with an endowment
sufficient for its perpetual enlargement, and to per-
mit, from time to time, the publication of catalogs,
bibliographies and studies designed to increase the
collection's usefulness."
In the interval, Mr. Stern has made constant
and distinguished additions to it. He has, more-
over, given the Library funds with which to secure
appropriate increments. It is housed in a separate
room in the Rare Book Division. The collection
is, in fact, steadily increasing and will continue
to increase.
Mr. Stern, in providing the means for the prep-
aration and publication of the catalog, has thought
of it as serving three purposes: first, as a bibliog-
raphical contribution to the observance of Mr. Lin-
coln's 150th anniversary; second, as an inducement
to students everywhere to examine for themselves
the stores of information derivable from the works
described in it; and third, as a standing invitation
to collectors, authors, and dealers to bring to our
notice available material not already recorded in its
pages. It is a pleasant duty to make grateful ac-
knowledgment to his generosity and public-minded-
ness.
L. QUINCY MUMFORD,
Librarian of Congress.

Introduction
THE GENERAL PURPOSE of this catalog
is to acquaint scholars, collectors, and the
interested public with the content of the
notable collection of Lincolniana amassed over a
period of 35 years by Mr. Alfred Whital Stern, of
Chicago, and presented by him to the Library of
Congress. The collection, numbering some 7,000
pieces, is outstanding, not only as to size and the
rarity of certain of its individual pieces, but also as
to scope. It includes not only writings by and about
Lincoln and special collections of materials as out-
lined below, but a large body of collateral or "back-
ground" literature, non-Lincoln in content but in
general dating from the Lincoln era or concerned
with such subjects as slavery, the Civil War, Re-
construction, and contemporary figures of Lincoln's
time. Originally deposited in the Library in 1951,
the collection was formally presented in 1953.
Since that time, through a generous provision of the
donor, the collection has been considerably enlarged
and continues to grow. The present catalog there-
fore is representative of it so far as it was con-
stituted in the Library's Rare Book Division up to
September 1958.
The major categories into which the collection
has been organized, and the arrangement of the
entries within these groups, are: (i) Works by Lin-
coln collections, selections, and individual works,
in one alphabet by title; (2) writings about Lincoln
and other subjects monographs, pamphlets and
serials, in one alphabet .by author and title; (3)
broadsides, chronologically arranged with undated
items at the end of the section; (4) sheet music, in
one alphabet by composer or arranger; (5) prints,
cartoons, maps, and drawings, chronologically ar-
ranged; (6) newspapers, arranged by the titles;
(7) autograph letters, chronologically arranged;
(8) the Leonard Volk materials; (9) the Merwin
collection, chiefly autograph letters arranged by
original correspondent; (10) stamps and coins;
(11) other ephemera, grouped into prospectuses,
mimeographed addresses, programs, proofs, Lin-
coln associations, etc.; and (12) medals, plaques,
and sculpture.
Wherever possible, Library of Congress printed
catalog cards have been adapted in the preparation
of entries for monographic, pamphlet, and serial
publications, i. e. for the "by Lincoln" and the
"about Lincoln" portions of the catalog. General
guides in the preparation of all entries for these
types of materials have been the Library's Rules
for Descriptive Cataloging in the Library of Con-
gress and its Bibliographical Procedures & Style: A
Manual for Bibliographers in the Library of Con-
gress. The rules set forth in these sources have
been modified to some extent, or innovations have
been made. Such departures {e. g. in recording im-
print, collation, etc.) are noted below in the dis-
cussion on the elements which make up an entry.
These elements include the heading, the body of the
entry (title, imprint, collation), location symbols,
and notes.
Heading. Entries in the first two categories
have been made under author, corporate or per-
sonal, or title. In regard to personal authorship,
the form of the name usually employed is that es-
tablished by the Library's catalogers, edited so as
to consist of the surname followed by the forename
in full and middle name or initial. Exceptions to
this practice include the use of the habitual form of
the name {e. g., McMurtry, R. Gerald), if ascertain-
able, and frequently the inclusion in the heading
of the maiden name of a married woman (within
parentheses), whether this appears on the title page
402745 60-
IX

16

or not. Generally any variation between the form
of the name adopted in the heading and the form
which appears on the title page is indicated by re-
tention of the author statement in the body of the
entry {e. g., "Packard, Roy D." in the heading
and "R. D. Packard" in the author statement, or
"Reiter, Harriet G. (Frost)" in the heading and
"Harriet G. Reiter" in the author statement).
There are, of course, other considerations which
have led to the retention of the author statement,
among them that of pseudonymous authorship
{e. g., "Philips, Judson Pentecost" in the heading
and "Hugh Pentecost" in the author statement).
Title. The title has been transcribed exactly as
it appears on the title page, except for punctuation
or capitalization. Line-endings have not been in-
dicated. Where necessary to the intelligibility of
the title, the author statement has been retained.
Titles in non-Latin alphabets, e. g., Greek, Hebrew,
Russian, Yiddish, Chinese, and Japanese, have been
transliterated and are followed, where desirable,
by translations in brackets.
Imprint. The statement of imprint (place, pub-
lisher, and date) includes, with a few exceptions,
all the places of publication and all publishers.
On occasion the publisher statement has been
abridged through the use of abbreviations {e. g.,
"Pub." for "Publishing" and "Co." for "Com-
pany") and deletions of unessential parts {e. g., of
the first name or the initials of well-known pub-
lishers). The imprint date of periodical entries
has been omitted. Where several issues of a
periodical are brought together into one entry, the
imprint employed is that of the latest issue.
Collation. The collation consists of a statement
as to the extent of the work in pages (including un-
numbered preliminary and final leaves), or vol-
umes; illustrative matter, if any; and the size in
centimeters. The collation of periodicals has been
omitted, but the pagination of articles on Lincoln
contained within the periodicals is provided in
notes following the body of the entry.
Location Symbols. Call-numbers and copy-
numbers of the classified materials have been re-
tained in the catalog as a convenience to the users
of the collection and to the staff of the Rare Book
Division. Location symbols employed, other than
call-numbers, include "P" for a group of unclassi-
fied materials, largely pamphlets, arranged on the
shelves alphabetically by author and title; and "U"
for a small collection of unclassified monographs,
chiefly in Japanese and Chinese.
Notes. Where needed or desired, notes have
been made to bring out such matters relating to
the work as: source of title, edition statement,
physical description to supplement the collation,
bibhographic history, bibliographic "points," pro-
venance, manuscript inscriptions, content (or
partial content), and binding.
In the preparation of this catalog, it was in-
tended initially that all pieces described be con-
nected (through the use of notes, where necessary)
with Lincoln. However, works devoted in their
entirety to other subjects were frequently en-
countered. These contained either no references to
Lincoln or so few as not to be found on cursory
examination. It therefore was decided to make all
entries meaningful in terms of a catalog of Lin-
colniana and of Civil War Americana. Explana-
tory notes have been added to the entries for items
whose titles, standing alone, do not reveal their
Lincoln or Civil War connection; and notes indic-
ative of content have been added to entries for
publications which are essentially non-Lincoln and
non-Civil War, yet contain anything from a brief
reference to several chapters or articles on Lincoln
or related subjects. The contents of non-Lincoln
serial publications {e. g., the Journal of the Illi-
nois State Historical Society) have been analyzed.
Serials which might be described as "Lincoln in
nature" {e. g., Lincoln Lore) remain unanalyzed,
with the exception of certain publications whose
individual issues have received separate treatment
in "Monaghan" (see "Monaghan Numbers," infra)
or had received previous analytic treatment by the
Library's catalogers, with printed cards therefore
available for adaptation {e. g., Rare Lincolniana).
Notes have been employed to indicate bindings
in material other than cloth. Binding notes have
not been made for items bound in cloth, unless, in
the case of two or more copies, the binding differs
as to color, texture, stampings, etc. In entries
where the phrase "cover title" occurs as the first
note and there is no indication as to the binding,
the item described is without title page and is
bound in printed wrappers. The binding of serials
has not been indicated.
Multiple Entries. Combined or multiple entries
have been made to bring together in one sequence
(not necessarily chronological) the various issues
and/or editions of the same work. Combinations
wgwmrwinnooofloanoa

17

have not been made where the various items con-
tain additional unrelated matter. For instance, in
the case of Carl Schurz' essay on Lincoln, three
basic entries have been made one for the essay
alone; another for the essay, to which has been
added "testimonies by Emerson, Whittier, Holmes,
and Lowell," etc.; and a third which contains, in
addition to the foregoing, "The Gettysburg speech
and other papers by Abraham Lincoln." These
have been treated, not as three editions of the same
work, but as three different items. It should be
noted further that in the section entitled "Works
about Lincoln, the Civil War, etc.," combinations
have been made even where a difference in title is
involved, but that, as a rule, in the section "Works
by Lincoln" combinations have been made only
where the title has remained the same. There has
been no attempt, for instance, to bring together into
one place the many printings of the Cooper Insti-
tute speech and the numerous titles under which
it appeared.
Monaghan Numbers. For many of the items
listed in this catalog there are corresponding entries
in Jay Monaghan's Lincoln Bibliography, i8^g-
^939 (Springfield, 111., 1943, 2 v.). Citations by
entry number have been made to this standard
comprehensive work. They appear in the Stern
catalog entries within parentheses, immediately
after the collation. They are so constructed as to
indicate that the items to which they relate are
treated either as basic entries in Monaghan; or as
variants, listed or unlisted in notes to the basic en-
tries. The nature of the citations can perhaps best
be illustrated by the multiple entry for the 1902,
1903, and 1919 issues of John G. Nicolay and John
Hay's A Short Life of Abraham Lincoln. The entry
for the 1902 issue contains the citation "Monaghan
1376" (M1376), i.e. the basic entry in Monaghan;
the entry for the 1903 issue contains the citation to
"Monaghan 1376 variant" (M1376 van), i.e. a
variant attested to by Monaghan in notes to the
basic entry; and the entry for the 1919 issue con-
tains the citation "variant of Monaghan 1376"
(var. of 1376), i.e. a variant which is not listed by
Monaghan in his notes to the basic entry.
Index. An index at the end of the catalog pro-
vides a guide by item number to all personal names
appearing in the body of the entries or in notes fol-
lowing the entries. The name of Lincoln has not
been indexed nor have names in headings, unless,
as in the case of joint authorship, the heading
contains two or more names. In such instances all
names after the first have been indexed.
This catalog is the work not of one individual but
of several. Acknowledgment is made particularly
of the assistance provided by J. M. Edelstein, John
Finzi, and Wesley T. Brandhorst in the preparation
of entries for periodicals; for the special collections
of materials, such as broadsides, prints, and sheet
music; for recently acquired materials; and for
many of the pamphlets. Acknowledgments are also
due to members of the Library's Orientalia Division
and Descriptive Cataloging Division for assistance
in the transliteration and translation of titles in
non-Latin alphabets; and, finally, to all who
through their advice, encouragement, and interest
in the project, contributed in large measure to its
successful completion.

Third edition. First state.
^ Monaghan numbers have not been given items 183-93 since
in these instances it has not been possible to distinguish between
"Monaghan variant" and "variant of Monaghan.'*
^ The arrangement of items 182-193 follows the scheme intro-
duced by Ernest J. Wessen in his study, "Debates of Lincoln and
Douglas: A Bibliographical Discussion" (see item 4499). Wessen
distinguishes three "editions," the third of which exists in five
"states." Of the states, the third is found with variant imprints
A (c/. item 188) and B (c/. item 189), in addition to the regular
imprint. The fourth and fifth states are found with the variant
imprints only.
^ Items 182-93, with the one sole exception of item 184a are
uniform in size (24 cm.) and exhibit the same white end papers,
gilt-stamped spine, and blind-stamped covers. The cover design
consists of an encircled eight-pointed star, centered within line
borders. These borders are floriated at the corners in items 182-
186, unfloriated in items 187-193.
Page i , title page; p. ii , copyright and stereotypers
